Completing My First Obstacle Race

A Real Jewellery Workshop.

Unlike so many business's out there, you can make an appointment and come visit me at my workshop/shop. Over 20 years ago I started out with a crude website and I worked on a rickety bench in my basement. 

I have worked hard, upgraded my premises several times and I now own my own workshop/shop in Kent.

The No Job Title - Job Title

I consider myself an "eternal student". I'm either working or learning something new. Sometimes I am doing both. I love to read, and you can now devour audio books or podcasts as you work. I am so very curious about all manner of things. 

At work I strive to learn and apply new skills. In my leisure time I strive to improve my painting and drawing skills.

Toenails Falling Off ! My Proudest Achievement

Around 2015 I decided I was a bit fat and unfit, so I took up running. 


To cut a long story short, I got hooked on running ultramarathons. An ultramarathon is widely considered to be anything over 50 miles.

Over the years I have run multiple ultra's and multi-day races. The downside, is that all that running, you develop blood blisters under your toenails , and they simply fall off. I'll spare you the video's.

135 Miles. Or One Lap Of Anglesey

My longest run was "The Ring Of Fire" - 135 miles on the coastal path around Anglesey. It is a gruelling race, up and down cliffs, along beaches until you have circled The Welsh Island of Anglesey. 

I attempted it twice and completed it once. The first time I ran 100 miles and pulled out with a horrid ankle injury. My second attempt was successful. Day 1 - run 35 miles - Day 2 - run 70 miles. Day 3 - run 35 miles. 

100 Miles In One Day.

I have also completed numerous 50 mile races, 100 mile races and surprisingly only 2 regular marathons. Apart from the umpteen hours of training runs in all weathers and at all hours of the day. 

It might sound awful, but I find something truly tranquil in the solitude and the fact that you are not racing anyone else, just trying to see if you can get to the finish line. The time is never relevant. The simple question, is did you toe the start line and did you finish?

I drink too much coffee. 

Late at night you will find me running through fields with my head torch on. I run about 30 miles a week. 

On a Sunday you might find me in an antique shop.

Oil Painting

In my spare time I love to paint in oils. I prefer the Alla Prima style ( which means to paint in one go, wet into wet.) It is a style of painting that requires confidence as you paint from observation and make your decisions on the fly. I have recently started to list some of my original oil paintings on my website. You can find me on Instagram under the handle @chrisparryart  

I am inspired by the world around me, and I am constantly looking for new subjects to paint. I am also inspired by the work of other artists, and I try to learn from their techniques and styles.

I believe that art is a powerful tool for communication, and I hope that my work will touch the lives of others.I am inspired by the world around me, and I am constantly looking for new subjects to paint.
